Are clowns a fandom?
Clownz dot com is a light-hearted website for people who dislike clowns. It includes such things as news articles about the lynching of a Ronald McDonald statue, a list of movies with scary clowns in them, etcetera. There's also a page devoted to their hilarious hate mail.

Item #1 is a letter from a fellow who claims the website is 'a complete display of hatred toward the art of clowning' and wants the site owner to 'remove all detrimental and/or destructive graphics and materials from your page'. There is a vague threat of internet lawyers.

Item #2 really does feature internet lawyers... specifially, internet lawyers representing BOZO (always in all-caps) the clown, threatening to sue the site owner for using an image of BOZO. Fair enough. What makes me laugh is that somebody at the company has apparently taken the proactive step of not only copyrighting BOZO... but copyrighting the idea of putting his face behind the international prohibition symbol. I kid you not.

Amusing stuff.
